with tiara and is borne on the sedia ges-
tatoria The garb Of Lent was thrown
aside for the time being, and the grand
affairs were decorated in magnificent style.
Cardinals Gibbons and Taschereau were
not present but their secretaries were.
Rev. W. A. Farron, of Richmond, Va,

Communicated
The Proposed New Cemetery.

1t is said that about 80 acres of eligi-
bly located land on West Leigh street
can be purchased for cemetery for
less money than the Clark Spring
property can be sold for. AS an
economic question, would it not be well
to acquire this rather than the Banks
town property, which will cost about
800 for SO acres? Again, if the lat
ter is bought, it is proposed to use the
Clark Spring property as part of the
new cemetery, to the detriment of the
health of the city, as it is well-knOwn
medical fact that the efiluvia from de-
caying bodies pollutes the atmosphere,
and that polluted air contaminates water
with which it comes in contact thus, as
the reservoir is close by, giving our citi-
yens poisoned water TO drink.

which it was argued and submitted to the

journed over until yesterday At 10
o'clock Yesterday morning the ry as
sembled again, and considered the case

Court, for the sum of $1,000.
Sometime since Morris signed written

Hutzler claims TO have been damaged

so do, and accordingly sues for that

REVIEW.

Wheat took big bulge to-day and top
prices were sustained. Opening was strong.
over last nights closing at 500 for May, and
sold up TO Sli. Free realizing by some small
longs caused reaction to sit, but again
strengthened and sold up to S2i, closing at
S2t Wheat is in strong hands am We think
will go higher, though reaction after such a
bulge is probable. The visible supply is va
riously estimated TO decrease from two TO
four million. Cables to-day are stronger, and
large operators bought very freely
Corn very strong an advance of one and a
quarter cent being established. Large opera
tors are also in corn and we look for much

Provisions very tame and q-iet. Pork

REVIEW.


New YORK, March 5-We have had
another day of dull and dropping tendency
and the bank statement helped the declining
tone Business has been very dull, but in
spite of these unfayprable features. prices
held their own fairly well, and there has
been little pressure to sell at any period Of
the day. The sudden revival of speculation
in the grain and produce markets may have
diverted attention from stock for the time
being but we are still inclined to believe
that good stocks are worth current values.
The market became dull and lfeless late in
the day. but not weak. The bears seem TO be
afraid to increase their outstanding line, and
the bull party being content to await what
they believe must be the ultimate result Of
the increase in railroad earnings, and the
improvement in the general trade through
ont the country. The market closed steady.
